Wednesday in the word.
THE POWER AT WORK
Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.
GOD’S WAY OF LETTING GO OF THE PAST
REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS, NOR CONSIDER THINGS OF OLD. BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING; NOW IT’S SPRINGING FORTH, DO YOU NOT SEE IT? I WILL MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT.
THE TRUE VINE AND THE BRANCH
I am the true vine, and my father is the vine grower. He moves every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.
TRUST IN GOD’S ABUNDANT PROMISES
Now to Him who is able to do immeasureably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN CHRIST
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
